IMAGINAUT.OS:

ONBOARDING PROTOCOL

You stand at the threshold of infinite possibilities.Imaginaut.OS is more than a game—it is a living, evolving multiversal storytelling framework where every action, every choice, and every discovery leaves an imprint on the expanding MetaCosm.Your journey begins now. Each session, each roll, and each decision builds upon the foundation of those who came before you, shaping a vast, interconnected reality where nothing is truly lost, and every path is significant.

I. INITIATION: HOW TO BEGIN

Understand the Three Pillars:

Every interaction in Imaginaut.OS is guided by three fundamental forces, each representing a different way of interacting with the multiverse:Corpus (Physical) – Strength, endurance, movement, direct action. The physical world responds to force, effort, and agility, shaping the way you traverse and interact with environments.Mentis (Mental) – Strategy, perception, influence, analysis. Your mind is your greatest tool, allowing you to anticipate, communicate, and decipher the mysteries of existence.Arcanum (Mystical) – Reality bending, intuition, emergence. The unseen, the improbable, and the inexplicable reside here, giving you access to abilities that transcend conventional understanding.

2. Learn the Hexfold System:

Actions are resolved by rolling 6d6 and assigning the results across the three pillars. How you distribute these values influences how the action unfolds. Each roll is not simply a test of chance, but a reflection of the interconnected forces guiding the multiverse. Success is measured not just by outcomes, but by the way your choices ripple through reality.

3. Choose Your Role:

Whether you play as a Reality Shaper (Player) or a Wayfarer (Guide/GM), your contributions define the fabric of the game. Reality Shapers craft their own fates, exploring and shaping the worlds around them. Wayfarers act as stewards of possibility, orchestrating challenges, revelations, and multiv

II. CORE PRINCIPLES: PLAYING THE GAME

All Stories are Connected

– Every playthrough influences the greater MetaCosm. Your choices do not exist in isolation—they leave echoes that persist and resurface in unexpected ways.

Failure Does Not Exist

– Every outcome generates a new path. The multiverse is not bound by simple success or failure; every action branches into new possibilities, even when the results are unintended.

The Multiverse Remembers

– Your choices persist, shaping future interactions. The world you leave behind will exist for others, just as past explorers have left traces for you to uncover.

III. FIRST SESSION SETUP

Step 1: Set the Scene

Your Wayfarer will introduce a reality in flux—a world shaped by past echoes and hidden possibilities. You will step into this world as an Imaginaut, forging your own path. The choices you make will alter its fabric, and your presence will be felt long after you move on.

Step 2: Define Your Character

Instead of static statistics, you will develop your Imaginaut through Resonance Markers, gained by key moments of personal growth, realm-changing events, and paradigm shifts. These markers shape your abilities, influencing how the multiverse responds to you.

Step 3: Begin the Journey

Your choices define reality. Each action sends ripples through the MetaCosm, ensuring no two sessions are the same. The world is in motion, shaped by previous playthroughs and waiting for you to leave your mark.

IV. EXPANDING BEYOND THE TABLE

Discover the Echo System

– Past campaigns leave behind Echo Imprints that shape future realities. Your game influences others, even across different playgroups. An event witnessed in one session may become legend in another, and remnants of past choices can open—or close—entirely new avenues of play.

Engage with the Weave Network

– Hidden within Imaginaut.OS are cryptographic puzzles, ARG elements, and real-world interactions that expand the game beyond the table. Those who look beyond the obvious will find deeper layers of discovery.

Join the Community Evolution Protocol

– Submit your discoveries to the Threshold Registry, participate in the Wayfinder Congress, and shape the next iterations of the MetaCosm. As the multiverse expands, so does the role of its explorers—your ideas may one day become part of the evolving framework.

Create Persistent Waymarks

– Your impact does not fade. Major actions create permanent changes in the game’s evolving history. Future players may stumble upon remnants of your past adventures, unearthing the consequences of decisions made long before their arrival.

🔺 Your actions leave a mark.
The multiverse remembers. 🔺

V. NEXT STEPS: UNLOCKING DEEPER LAYERS
